In such difficult times, a glimmer of light is the upcoming publication of @ioanaliterat and my @OUPAcademic book Not Your Parents' Politics: Understanding Young People's Political Expression on Social Media. Seeing it online makes it feel so real! shorturl.at/7OVEF

@jiyoun_suk @nycgov I’m so sorry this happened. How scary! Thanks for sharing

1/x Never thought I’d share this kind of story. Was at @nycgov for a family gathering and on the NYC subway, I was *physically* and *verbally* attacked by a woman who punched my side with her fist and yelled at me, saying ching chong, dumbass, f*ck,

It was great to share @StephEdgerly & my research at #AEJMC24. Presenting in the last session is always a challenge but I appreciate the questions & engagement from everyone who showed up!Truly a great panel with important topics #ThatsAWrap #IFeltThePhillyLove #SeeEveryoneInSF!
